How does one take in-game screenshots? The PrintScreen key only takes a screenshot of my desktop . I think I've seen this mentioned around here before, but searching "screenshot" returns 500 hits, so I figured it might be easiet just to ask. Thanks!
Merovech's Mapmaking Guidelines:
0. Player Requests: The player's requests take precedence, even if they contradict the following guidelines.
1. Balance: The map must be balanced, both in regards to land quality and availability and in regards to special civilization features. A map may be wonderfully unique and surprising, but, if it is unbalanced, the game will suffer and the player's enjoyment will not be as high as it could be.
2. Identity and Enjoyment: The map should be interesting to play at all levels, from city placement and management to the border-created interactions between civilizations, and should include varied terrain. Flavor should enhance the inherent pleasure resulting from the underlying tile arrangements. The map should not be exceedingly lush, but it is better to err on the lush side than on the poor side when placing terrain.
3. Feel (Avoiding Gimmicks): The map should not be overwhelmed or dominated by the mapmaker's flavor. Embellishment of the map through the use of special improvements, barbarian units, and abnormal terrain can enhance the identity and enjoyment of the map, but should take a backseat to the more normal aspects of the map. The game should usually not revolve around the flavor, but merely be accented by it.
4. Realism: Where possible, the terrain of the map should be realistic. Jungles on desert tiles, or even next to desert tiles, should therefore have a very specific reason for existing. Rivers should run downhill or across level ground into bodies of water. Irrigated terrain should have a higher grassland to plains ratio than dry terrain. Mountain chains should cast rain shadows. Islands, mountains, and peninsulas should follow logical plate tectonics.
Hmm. I use the Steam version of BTS, so I just have to press a certain key I bound & it saves a picture to a folder. I've also been able to hit "Print Screen", and then paste the screencap into Paint for editing.
I use a tool called HyperDesktop, which lets you select any area of visible screen, and then automatically uploads the screenshot to Imgur. Should work with fullscreen.
I think my pick for his first name is a better pun But dang, you're right, Claws would have worked better for his second
Originally all of the AI were getting Christmas-themed names, but I ran out of ideas pretty quick. Plus I didn't want to name one of them something like "The Krampus", and then have players steeped in centuries of Christmas Lore asking whether certain AI were supposed to be allied or fighting each other or whatever
